74LCX14SJX

Inverter Gates Overview

The onsemi 74LCX14SJX is a low-voltage CMOS hex Schmitt trigger inverter fabricated using sub-micron silicon gate technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 3.6V, making it suitable for high-speed digital applications. The device features five-state outputs and provides symmetrical output impedance with a minimum drive current of 24mA at VCC=3V. It includes power-down protection on inputs and outputs, ensuring high noise immunity and balanced propagation delays.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex Schmitt trigger configuration for enhanced noise filtering
• Five-state outputs compatible with bus-driven systems
• Power-down protection prevents excessive current draw during standby

Inverter Gates Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Clock signal conditioning and buffering
• General-purpose logic level translation

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SJX' against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Confirm RoHS compliance and manufacturing origin details directly with onsemi or authorized distributors before finalizing procurement specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring robust noise rejection via Schmitt trigger inputs. Ensure the operating voltage remains within the 2.0V to 3.6V range. Consider the 24mA drive capability for driving moderate capacitive loads without external buffering.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LCX family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. It serves as a functional equivalent to standard 74HC14 but optimized for lower voltage operation. The series is widely used in portable electronics and battery-powered devices due to its low power consumption and high speed characteristics.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible alternatives such as SN74LVC14A from Texas Instruments or MC74LCX14 from ON Semiconductor (different package). Verify electrical parameters like propagation delay and output drive strength match system requirements.
